life as of 9-16-11

Hello all,
Just thought I'd update this. Mom is doing real well...she has her moments, but God is good. Dalaynee and I have a busy schedule...Monday-gymnastics...Tuesday-Kid's choir at church...Wednesday-homework (she has one math paper and 75 min of reading to do each week)...Thursday-Soccer Practice...Friday-Soccer Practice...Saturday-Soccer game. Still trying to figure all the timing out.

"God please grant me a peaceful spirit!!!!"

Update

Hello all,

Mom is doing pretty good. Now is the start of no more visitors, and dealing with the legal stuff of taking Dad's name off of stuff etc. I know this well, although it's not as tramatic for mom and she says that's because Dad was in his 80's and she has experienced wonderful things in her almost 56 years of marriage with him. Very different than my and Jeff's 9 years of marriage. Anyway you cut it, it is hard to say goodbye to your mate.

Thank you ALL, for your prayers!!!!!

Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to...

My (step) son, Andy (his baby will be born in November). To my brother, Danny, he has 3 wonderful kids!!! To Mom, Sue, Laur, Dalaynee, & me this Father's day is harder to celebrate. Thank you for your prayers.

DAD

Most of you already know, but my dear father is now in heaven with his Savior. We are so grateful for God's peace and mercy!

The service details are: Viewing is on Wednesday, June 15 from 6p to 9p at Del Angel Mortuary, 10333 E. Alondra, Bellflower. And the graveside service is on Thursday, June 16th at 10a (open to everyone) and Funeral service is at 11:30 at ERC with lunch after.

Also, all family please meet in the fellowship hall at ERC prior to the Funeral service.

Bless you, Jayne

Have Mercy

I was at Mom and Dad's house most of the day, I have been doing that since last week Friday, as have my siblings.  Before I left I went in to say goodbye to Dad, I asked if he needed anything, and his response was "naw, I just wish this was over."  I said, "Are you ready to go to Glory, Dad?" He said, "yeah." I told him I was sorry and he said "That's just how life goes sometimes, I guess."  I told him we were praying for God to have mercy and he said "I know."  Needless to say, I cried all the way home.  The thought ran through my head that Jeff may have felt that way too (wishing the waiting to go to heaven was done), however he was more confused than Dad and didn't say anything.  Please continue to pray for God's mercy for Dad and that he is spared from pain and lingering.  So far he still doesn't complain of pain, the hospice personnel are surprised by this...so...it is completely an answer to prayer...Thank you for your consistency.

Peace to you all!
